I make cookies mostly for family and friends. More often than not they do not want the cookies individually packaged and kind of just want them to be arranged on trays or something.
Do any of you have suggestions for how to transport the cookies if they aren't individually wrapped?
So far I have transported them on separate trays and arranged them on big trays on site but that means travelling with sometimes 10+ trays of cookies that can't be stacked on top of one another.
Currently, every cookie that leaves my house is individually packaged. It’s state law. I don’t give my customers the option.
The cookies can still be arranged in a tray individually wrapped and it’s more sanitary in my opinion.
Before I implemented this policy, I would stack cookies in boxes with parchment layers between them. So a 14x19 box, layer of cookies on the bottom, piece of parchment on top, next layer of cookies, repeat, etc.
I love these containers. They’re large and the sides go straight up (instead of rounded like the big Rubbermaid style) so it’s easy to stack even layers. Just put a sheet of parchment in between each layer of cookies. You can even get precut parchment like this
I do the baking for my community’s social committee. I transport cookies in these plastic boxes. Then I set them up on the platters when I arrive at the event. For larger events I start baking ahead of time and freeze the cookies in the same boxes. I also use the boxes to prep my “cookie kits”. They are made by Gladware and keep the cookies fresh.
